Phonix Lander finds ice

What is next? Bacterial life perhaps? if they find life it surely will be one of the most important findings ever. Imagine if it is not DNA based.

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms--to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

In the book they were sent in 2026, with the first man on Mars in 2020. Needless to say it would be nice if by 2020 there's a base on the moon... Unless
there's a serious cold war with China I don't see it happening for another few decades. My space enthusiast attitude has somewhat waned after getting
involved with other pressing issues here on Earth...

There won't be the same cold War with China. More likely will be religious Cold War with Islam but both sides against their fantasy of each other, not any
reality. It shows the political reality of mine enemy's enemy is my friend that the US cosied up to China because China opposed Russia as well,
except that the US claimed to oppose the USSR because it Communist and China because it was not Communist enough
